Lesson 3 · 5:45
Domain, HTTPS, email
How to turn on HTTPS with a Let's Encrypt certificate or your company's own, move Plane to a new domain, and connect a mail server in God mode, so your instance answers at one domain through Caddy and sends its email.

Lesson 4 · 5:47
Sign-in and SSO
How sign-in is set once for every workspace on a self-hosted instance, on God mode's Authentication page, from deciding who can sign up and turning on the methods your company uses to connecting your identity provider over OIDC, SAML, or LDAP.

How God mode, the instance admin app of self-hosted Plane, runs the whole instance from its eleven pages, and what to set on a new instance's first day.
- 6:17
Lesson 7 · 6:17
Back up, restore, and upgrade
How Prime CLI backs up, restores, upgrades, and checks the health of a self-hosted Plane instance after the install, and how a single backup moves Plane to a new server.
- 5:18
Lesson 8 · 5:18
Production data
How to point self-hosted Plane at managed Postgres, Redis, RabbitMQ, and S3 with one command, move the data across once, and keep the S3 bucket private.

- 5:52
Lesson 10 · 5:52
Integrations and the MCP server
How integrations turn on for a self-hosted instance, with an app on the provider's side and its keys in plane.env, from GitHub end to end and four more in one pass to Plane's own MCP server for AI tools.
- 5:52
Lesson 11 · 5:52
Plane AI, search, and scanning
How the three add-ons that ship switched off, advanced search on an OpenSearch cluster you provide, Plane AI, and sensitive data scanning, each turn on with a few keys in plane.env, and how to check each one from the terminal and in the app.

Lesson 12 · 5:06
Airgapped Plane
How airgapped Plane, the Commercial Edition set up for a network with no internet access, installs from your own container registry and takes its license as a file, from copying the images and starting Plane with Docker Compose to activating the license and updating.
